Microsoft's late deliveries

Perhaps aware that some companies
might want to postpone installing XP
Service Pack 2, Microsoft has
released a "mechanism" for delaying
its delivery. The package temporarily
disables delivery of SP2 through
Windows Update and Automatic
Update.

A couple of weeks ago we mentioned
a new search engine called Ice-
Rocket. It's already added another
interesting new feature - search by
email. You simply send an email to
search@icerocket.com with your
query in the subject line, and Ice-
Rocket will email you back results.

Versatile browser
Mac browser OmniWeb 5 has some
interesting features, including reorderable
tabs, multiple workspaces,
an RSS reader and - like any
browser worth its salt - pop-up
blocking. It costs about $43 but a
30-day trial version is available.

Total recall
Trawling through your browser history,
trying to find a site you visited last
week, is like looking for a needle in a
haystack. Recall Toolbar creates a
searchable index of sites you've
visited. Each time you visit a site, the
content is added to the index and, by
clicking on the toolbar icon, you can
run searches on this content.

Equal opportunities
Not all search engines are created
equal. See just how different they
can be by using Jux, a tool that lets
you run the same search on two
search engines concurrently and
compare the results.
